I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course) (lemmy.world)

I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.

Broadly speaking, so-called conservative folk are not creative. They resist change, and trying new things is umm trying new things.

Weirdos like me LOVE CHANGE and novelty so you can probably guess which direction I lean.

Trans and queer and furry and weird folk are often programmers and creative folk. ActivityPub is written largely by and for queer and trans and furry folk. So no surprise it's so strongly supportive of individual expression and rights.

Is anyone surprised that everything the chump crowd touches fails?

It's in the name really.

And no, I witnessed this with the internet itself post 2000. Get off my lawn 😜
